Learn the Lie

heard you say it before, like last night
when you filled up with liquor and shed a new light
not that it’s an excuse for this opening flood
When we’re miles apart, does it do any good?
the logic is gone; why am I here?
what are you drinking, if you’re out of beer?
you’re talking to me, but you keep me unknown.
can’t reconstruct glass that you already broke
ooooooh, learn the lie
oooooooh, now it’s mine
if I’m just a voice and words on a page
how easy it is to leave me this way
no touch to remember, or kiss to recall
you’re planning your exit; i’m watching it all
i’m trying to give what little i can
you keep running further with each condition
no time for regrets, just play your guitar
but your hands can’t keep up, you won’t get very far
oooh learn the lie
oooh now it’s mine
didn’t let you know i saw right through you
i know you wanted me to
don’t know why I couldn’t leave my guard down
but you didn't deserve to keep me around
check your pride at the door, it doesn’t suit me anymore
let that bottle stand in for me, and I’ll just be here
i’ll just be, I’ll just be.
oooh learn the lie
i saw right through you
oooh now it’s mine
you wanted me to
oooh learn the lie
couldn't leave my guard down
oooh now it’s mine

Casual

I look across the table
‘Cause I know what’s not allowed
Got a burger in my hands
And a beer to wash it down
Making light of passing time
But you know you’re getting old
Will excuses take control
When we get to the next bar?
Is this casual enough for you baby?
Enough pressure off of you now, maybe?
Take your mezcal in a paper cup
And you say you can’t imagine
Having any other drink
But I know that you don’t mean it.
When you feel small it’s not enough
You’re dragging me along
Going through the motions
We thought we had unlearned
Is this casual enough for you baby?
Enough pressure off of you now, maybe?
You still get me how you want me
Then show me to the door
Tell me, is this casual enough for you?
So go on let me go
I’m not the one you want
You keep needing more
When I’ve got nothing left.
I’ve got nothing left.

Only Fool

Staring at her knowing
what you’ve done
Hold your fire, there’s
nowhere to run
Not a foe but not a heroine
On a battlefield that’s paper thin
When the only fool is you
You lose every time
When the only fool is you
Leave the proof behind
Keep your mouth shut don’t take up that space
If you argue you might be replaced
Solve the problem, just put out that fire
Pleasing people makes a damn good liar
When the only fool is you
You lose every time
When the only fool is you
Leave the proof behind

What's in a Name

Another language
Lips moving
Shape shifting
Say it again
Can't grasp
Leave it
That’s not mine
What you call me
I’m someone else
Who you made me
What’s in a name?
If it’s not your own?
Good at control
Let me tell you
convince you
Sound it out
So i can hear it
Believe it
Who else can carry this
It’s all mine
By design by design
It’s all mine
